Top Virtual Motor Racing Betting Sites & Bookmakers

What are they like?

Bet365 kicks off a new virtual motor racing round every three minutes. There is a 24/7 availability of virtual motor racing rounds and races feature 12 cars from which you make your selections.

The availability of betting markets on virtual racing is limited to race winner, each way (top 3 places at ¼ odds), forecast and tricast bets. Whilst this might seem limited it’s actually more than the majority of bookmakers who only spread the race winner option.

The graphics across the virtual betting section at Bet365 are solid and their virtual racing offering is no different – sound effects are realistic too.

Races are run in an F1 style with car rankings displayed on the left-hand side of the screen. Handy because the track gets quick congested, and the action can be tough to follow.

New customers can also trigger the sign up bonus at Bet365 by betting on virtual racing – it’s one of the biggest industry wide so well worth getting your teeth stuck into.

Occupying second spot of our rundown of the best virtual motor racing betting sites, Betvictor is another excellent destination for any potential motor racing punter looking for regular, high octane virtual action.

Hosting all of their races at the fictional ‘World Circuit’, Betvictor run a new race approximately every nine minutes throughout the day and night. That means that punters have to wait a little longer between races than at William Hill but still do benefit from impressive animated graphics and accurate, realistic audio commentary as and when each race begins.

Just like William Hill, too, Betvictor generally only offer a race winner market for virtual motor racing (F1) but do always feature each-way terms for the races. Those terms are typically 1/5 odds for the top three places in a given race.

William HillA tried, trusted and traditional bookmaker who have been at the vanguard of virtual sports betting, amongst the many options within the dedicated ‘Virtual World’ section of William Hill’s website is a very impressive virtual motor racing (F1) area.

William Hill only have the one virtual race track where their simulated action takes place, but races are run every four minutes so as to ensure that punters never have to wait long for more betting opportunities to come along.

Those betting opportunities are limited to just a race winner market, but that market does always benefit from each-way terms which pay out 1/4 odds for drivers finishing on the podium. What’s more, each virtual race which is run is shown via a stream at the top of the William Hill virtual motor racing page. That stream boasts good animation style graphics and each race is complemented by really realistic audio commentary.

Unquestionably one of the best destinations for any and all kinds of virtual sports betting, Betfred provide an outstanding virtual motor racing offering. Head to the virtual sports section of the Bet365 website and you will find a dedicated motor racing category, in which races from two fictional tracks are run.

At each of those tracks, the races are run at intervals of just three minutes and have staggered start times, meaning that at any time of the day or night you will never be more than two minutes from the start of a new virtual motor race at Betfred.

As and when you do decide to check out Betfred’s virtual motor racing section, you will find it includes two main parts. At the head of the page is where the races are shown ‘live’, and each one benefits from very decent computer game style graphics and entertaining real time commentary.

Beneath the stream of the race, meanwhile, is where you can place your bets on the virtual action. Unlike some bookmakers, Betfred offer a couple of different betting alternatives, in the shape of forecast and tricast bets, as well as standard race winner bets.

Paddy Power have always stood out because of the quality of their virtual betting console. The virtual motor racing on the platform is no different – it’s high end.

Every new round of motor racing starts after three minutes, and races run 24/7 daily. The event duration for each race is 90 seconds, and the other 90 seconds is used as a betting window before the next round which gives you a chance to make your analysis and bet before the round starts.

The sound effects offered by Paddy Power are realistic to a point and the inclusion of commentary is a nice addition. The commentary and the screeching of the cars makes the action realistic and gives the bookie and edge over the competitors.

The betting markets offered are also impressive, as you are not limited to betting only on the win odds alone.

Most importantly, virtual racing at Paddy Power runs on a wide range of devices without experiencing any glitches and graphics work on both large and small screens. This is one virtual motor racing betting site that seems to do everything right – with a better bonus they’d be higher up out list.

Coral have a steady supply of virtual motor racing rounds with an event frequency of three minutes. A race runs for a full one minute and thirty seconds with a one minute thirty seconds break that’s placed in-between before the next round starts.

The betting console is simple, well suited to beginners, and navigation makes virtual motor racing easy to access. Just find the virtuals option in the left-hand menu.

You won’t find much more than what’s offered by other bookies at Coral but the previous bet history statistics that pop up after each range is also a welcome addition. This gives you a sense of the cars that are in top form, so you can easier judge who to bet on.

We wouldn’t be doing this bookie justice if we don’t talk about the extensive range of markets featured. You have the option of picking from four markets: Win, Each Way, Forecast, or Tricast.
Again the bonus at Coral is aimed very much at beginners and can be triggered with bets on virtual sports.

Betfair offer a more comprehensive virtual motor racing section than most. A new virtual motor race starts off every two minutes and action run 24/7 daily. The event duration of each race is one minute and thirty seconds, with the remaining thirty seconds left off as a break between rounds.

What we like most about this bookie is the impressive resolution of the graphics offered. Betfair really try to ensure that the game captures reality in every way possible… and they do a good job but obviously it won’t rival the real thing!

Like the best virtual motor racing betting sites Betfair offer markets on not only race winner but also include each way bets with forecasts and tricasts offered as well. Each way terms are ¼ odds paying out on the top 3 places in the race.

Racing is done in F1 style cars at Betfair and virtual motor racing bets can be placed by finding the ‘Virtual Sports’ link in the top menu and then selecting the correct option from the sub menu which appears.

Just click the odds next to any driver to place a bet – results from previous races can be accessed using the slider arrows under the visual display.

888sport are a force to be reckoned with in the online betting business. Once more, they showed their brilliance in diversity by offering a unique virtual motor racing setup.

Unlike the other bookies in our list, 888sport allows you to start a new game whenever you please, so there is no set event frequency. The platform runs around you whenever you’re ready – by clicking on the “Start Race” icon, you start at your own pace. Once started races last for one minute.

You will however find less markets available at 888Sport when it comes to virtual motor racing and to move up our list of the best virtual motor racing betting sites, they’ll need to address that. Graphics and sound effects are on par though which is a plus.

Thankfully 888Sport allow all new customers to trigger and claim their opening account bonus via virtual games so if you fancy a bit of extra value then get yourself signed up.

Ladbrokes easily rank as one of the best betting websites globally but unfortunately virtual sports aren’t such a big focus of theirs and as a result the user experience across this section of the site needs a little work.

The site kicks off a new virtual motor racing around every three minutes and offer you gaming rounds at all times of the day. Market choice is decent, each way bets pay top 3 places at ¼ odds and commentary and sound effects are included.

However, it is rather underwhelming that this bookie opted for graphics with very poor resolution. This makes you feel like you are playing a 90s video game and generally drags down on the enjoyability of the experience. There is also nowhere to check results of previous races.

On the plus side though Ladbrokes will let users claim their welcome bonus and unlock it using bets on virtual sports so if it’s a little extra value you’re after it might still be worth joining.
